downloading the file and running manually has installed it…

Sorry John,

We will check it out ASAP.

Having seen other thread, just confirm this is running FMS 20.3.2

have not yet looked at the actual script, but one thing is that the uninstaller works before it has even worked out if there was a fault with downloading or unzipping, so you are then left with nothing. Should this step be moved later??

5

That would probably be a better idea.

We’ll look into it.

Thanks

I’ll be adding some error trapping to this script so its easier to debug. In this case it looks like your download of the installer failed for some reason and it cascaded from there.

I’ll get working on some updates to the script!!

Hello John,

Thanks for the update! I’ve been sick for a few days so I’ve been unable to get to making these changes to the install script. I’ll be working on this this week!

Hey John,

I have added some better error management and a couple lines that I think should help with your issue to the windows script. Let me know if the upgrade goes smoother for 4.2.3! At the very least I believe the new version of the script won’t uninstall OttoFMS if it fails to get the installer properly.
